In Annapolis, serious outdoor projects need more than a lawn crew. Better View Landscape handles landscaping, masonry, pond features, outdoor lighting, and design-build work — all under one roof. Our team is based in Davidsonville and serves all of Anne Arundel County. Owners are on every project, the process is clear, and the work is built to last. Here’s what we do — and how we work.
Landscaping in Annapolis
Better View Landscape handles planting services, plant beds, foundation plantings, shrubs and trees, garden installation, and full yard transformations across Anne Arundel County. We work with homeowners replacing builder-grade plantings, clearing overgrown yards, or building usable outdoor living space from the ground up.
Builder-grade installs across Davidsonville and Arnold tend to fail within 5–10 years. We select plants for long-term growth. Deer pressure, clay soil, and mature tree cover all factor into every bed we design and every plant we put in the ground. Our work also includes hardscapes to complement your plantings and create outdoor living features that tie the full yard together.
Every project is owner-led, start to finish.
Masonry Contractor
Better View Landscape builds paver patios, retaining walls, outdoor kitchens, fire features, walkways, and pool surrounds across Anne Arundel County. Clay soil throughout this region requires deep, properly compacted base work — skip that step and pavers shift, walls crack, and water goes where it shouldn’t. Our masonry contractor work focuses on clean lines, proper drainage, and materials that fit your home’s architecture — built to last, not just to look good at the walk-through.
Pond Contractor
Natural ponds, koi ponds, water gardens, and wet-area conversions are a specialty for Anne Arundel County homeowners who want something that actually fits the landscape. Proximity to the Chesapeake Bay watershed shapes how we approach every feature we build — the goal is a water feature that looks indigenous to this region and functions that way too. Our [Pond Contractor](link coming) approach gets the ecosystem balance right from the start so you don’t inherit a maintenance headache down the road.
Landscape Lighting Designer
Path lighting, uplighting, architectural accents, and entertainment area lighting extend the value of every hardscape and planting investment you’ve made. Maryland’s fall evenings arrive early — a well-lit patio in October gets used, a dark one doesn’t. Getting that right comes down to placement and planning. Our [Landscape Lighting Designer](link coming) services are built into the broader project from the start, not retrofitted by a separate contractor after the fact.
Landscape Design Services
Not every project needs a full design phase — but complex properties rarely benefit from skipping it. Large Davidsonville lots, waterfront properties, and sloped Anne Arundel County yards need site-specific solutions that catch problems before they become expensive ones. Our [Landscape Designer](link coming) services cover the full design-build process, or we can work alongside a designer you already trust. Not sure which approach fits your project? We can help you figure that out during the initial consultation.
